It sounds like your source document is set up in spreads, while your target
document is in single pages. Change the following property of both documents
to get Quark to measure item coordinates from the page origin, rather than
the spread origin.
tell application "QuarkXPress"
set item spread coords of every document to false
end tell
For example, if your document is in spreads, the page size is 8.5x11, and
the "item spread coords" property is true, coordinates of page items on a
right-hand page will measure between 8.5 and 17 inches. When the "item
spread coords" property is false, coordinates of the same page items will
measure between 0 and 8.5 inches.
